  •  

  • The 1901 and 1911 Censuses, his Marriage Certificate and the 1939 Register all show his occupation as a French Polisher and it is assumed that he was apprenticed around the age of 14. The 1921 Census give his occupation as a London General Omnibus Conductor so he must have been unable to find work as a French polisher during the depression and took work as a 'bus conductor. How long he worked as a 'bus conductor is not known but he had obviously returned to French polishing before 1939. Whether he was able to continue with his trade in the 1939-45 seems doubtful but he probably returned to it as soon as he could. His nephew, Jack (son of his sister Alice), remembers a visit to his home in the late 1940s and being impressed by the depth and lustre of the polish on the furniture, in particular the front of the upright piano! He doesn't remember much else about the visit except that he spent most of the time sitting on a sofa whilst the adults talked. It is almost certain that we were given tea.

The family which numbered 10 in all had the whole house to themselves. There is no indication of the size of the house. However, nearby houses in Phillip Street occupied by more than 1 family appear to have 4 rooms so it is assumed that there were 4 rooms probably split up as a living room, the parents bedroom, a bedroom for the boys and a bedroom for the girls. In addition there was probably a scullery with a copper for use on washdays which may also have served as a kitchen and a privy in the yard.

J P W Ward, As I Remember It, (Not published). Chapter 3 A Boy in LondonThe only other relative I have a clear recollection of visiting was Uncle Tom who was French polisher. It must have been in the late 1940s. I was impressed by the depth and lustre of the polish on the furniture, in particular the front of the upright piano! I don't remember much else about the visit except that he spent most of the time sitting on a sofa whilst the adults talked.
